The Fairest of Them All...

Grove City College Children's Theatre Productions are always great! Each Spring, a musical production is put together and performed for area schools to share the joy of theatre with kids.

This year's fabulous show is Mother Goose, Inc., and is comprised of a funny and entertaining cast of characters. MY favorite, and ... the fairest of them all... is Snow White, creatively and hilariously portrayed by our talented daughter, Samantha! She's found her sweet spot, I think!

We saw one of the performances last night (they do 7 of them in 3 days). Samantha's character is the 'behind the scenes' Snow White, who is very much a Diva, and unhappy with her 'new' set of dwarfs (only 6), Winky, Pinky, Binky, Finky, Stinky and Fred. She performs a song describing her new contract demands, I Want It All, which highlights her great vocal gifts, as well as delights the audience with her natural comedic talent. I loved it!!! And I'm going to see it again... and again!

The show is about a rivalry between Mother Goose and The Brothers Grimm fairy tale characters, who ultimately join together against a common enemy, and encourage kids to read! It's a high energy show, with lots of singing, dancing and funny dialogue. The kids in the audience really seemed to enjoy it.... and so did the parents! Especially this parent!
